Default Another prob with the S1 :cry:

I'm getting a hollow sort of knocking noise from the driver side front wheel when i go over a bump or slight pot hole etc

I've checked the wheel bearing & it's ok, i've also checked the driveshaft by full locking the steering wheel & driving round in a circle (both ways) & that doesnt make any noise either.

Can the insert knock in the koni shock?

Any ideas?

Yes, if rust has stopped the cap screwing on far enough, I had this on a MK2 escy, put a large flat washer under each one, taped it to the insert as I fitted it, bounce it up and down and you may hear the knocking if it's that.
